    Sir George Young opens De La Rue’s new Overton Quality Centre

    London: October 4, 2012:

    Local MP Sir George Young today opened De La Rue’s new Overton Quality Centre. The company’s Overton Mill produces banknote paper for countries across the world and this year the company is celebrating 300 years of making paper in Hampshire. The opening ceremony was attended by over 20 customers from 15 countries who were participating in the De La Rue Banknote Paper Conference taking place in Hampshire this week.

    This new Quality Centre is part of De La Rue’s on-going investment programme in production and quality. Along with production offices, there are two new laboratories which contain state-of-the-art testing equipment and real-time computerised systems, allowing tight customer requirements and specifications to be assured throughout the papermaking process. The labs are run within highly regulated temperature and humidity conditions, both of which are critical parameters when it comes to papermaking.

    Sir George Young said “I am delighted to be opening the Overton Quality Centre. This new facility symbolises the continued success of De La Rue, a great example of a UK company which has an unparalleled track record of successfully reaching global markets over many years, as well as playing a key role in the life of the local community.”

    ENDS
